STEP 1. After assembling the antenna, make sure it is
resting on a flat level surface.
STEP 2. Determine the azimuth (direction) and elevation
angle (up/down) by entering your zip code into the ap-
propriate set-up menu on your receiver.
STEP 3. To set the elevation angle (up/down), loosen
the knob on the “elevation bolt” and elevate the “dish
bracket” to the correct angle shown on the menu screen,
by lining up the colored edge on the clamp with the de-
gree marking.
STEP 4. Using a compass, rotate the base slowly until
the center of the dish faces the desired azimuth angle
(direction) shown on the menu screen. The signal is
digital; you must wait a few seconds after each move
to allow the receiver to process the signal.
STEP 5. Adjust azimuth (direction) and elevation (up/
down) for strongest signal.
